حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ كَانَتْ عُكَاظٌ وَمَجَنَّةُ وَذُو الْمَجَازِ أَسْوَاقًا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ الإِسْلاَمُ تَأَثَّمُوا مِنَ التِّجَارَةِ فِيهَا، فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ ‏{‏لَيْسَ عَلَيْكُمْ جُنَاحٌ‏}‏ فِي مَوَاسِمِ الْحَجِّ، قَرَأَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ كَذَا‏.‏

Narrated Ibn `Abbas:`Ukaz, Majanna and Dhul-Majaz were markets in the Pre-Islamic period. When the people embraced Islam they considered it a sin to trade there. So, the following Holy Verse came:-- 'There is no harm for you if you seek of the bounty of your Lord (Allah) in the Hajj season." (2.198) Ibn `Abbas recited it like this

Ibn Abbas (رضی اللہ عنہما) bataate hain: Ukaz, Majanna aur Dhul-Majaz jahiliyat ke zamane mein bazaar the. Jab log Islam laaye, unhe laga wahan tijarat karna gunah hai. Isliye yeh Aayat nazil hui: "Isme koi harj nahi agar tum Hajj ke maheenon mein apne Rab (Allah) ka fazl talaash karo" (2:198). Ibn Abbas ne is tarah ayat padhi.
